Day 207, 208

Two days packed together - at least I'm not behind. And, as I was told by someone, I actually had the drive to get more than just a few days in and quit.

First picture here is a nice skyline over the top of the band. They were doing some set-by-set drill. For the non-band people, it means that they were going from one position on the field to the next altogether. While they were doing that, the Pit was kind of waiting around a bit. Someone pointed out the sky looked cool, and a few of us busted out cameras - all on phones but mine.

This other one was right before mini GAC. First, this is a friend of mine's hat hair, with the hat that caused it. The whole section got the same hats at Wal-Mart on Monday. HYPE! Currently mine is pirate style (think Jack Sparrow's hat). Second, mini GAC, or Miniature Get-A-Clue, was a small event about an hour long hosted all over campus. The RAT parents hid "clues" all over that led to each other. My group finished last, but we finished. That's actually the reason I didn't update yesterday - it was 1:30am by the time I got back to my place. Then again, I played Teeworlds for half an hour anyway...

why 117?

Somewhere around my freshman year in high school, I started seeing this number everywhere I went. I would look at the clock and the time would be either 11:17 or 1:17. I would be customer 117 on a receipt. The date would be 1/17, and I wouldn't realize it until I put it on paper. I found out after the fact that the Halo Spartan is number 117. I even found myself having $117 in my wallet once on pure accident.*

So instead of becoming frustrated at it for much longer, I've dedicated this little portion of the internet to it. Now and again you'll see pictures of the number 117 in various places. I took a picture of $1.17 in change. My dorm room last year was 117 (no joke), so I took a picture of the room indicator. Things like that, you know?

*i don't ever carry around this much money, so don't bother robbing me. I don't think I even have $117 right now, anyway
